Oh sweet Minnie....won't you come out from under that bed? You have a really loving mommy who would love to play with you. :)
Cataholic, I missed the boat on Minnie...did you rescue her? What was her past like? I bet she'll come out eventually...that was a huge leap to be in your room from the basement...very good progress.
Hi Noahsmommy- Minnie was rescued by a vet as part of a trap/nueter/release in a feral community. This was in April, I think. When they trapped her, they realized she had already been spayed, and didn't exhibit the necessary feral type behaviour. They thought she had been dumped (a curse upon their souls). So, in July, I adopted her. She hid in the basement until just recently...like two weeks ago, maybe three? Then, she moved into my bedroom....I think it was the cold weather..I dont care what made it happen, I am just thankful for the slow progress. Thanks for asking... :)
I am so glad about Minnie. I followed her story and I was waiting for some good news.
Yeah yeah yeah Minnie..:D :) :D :) :D :)
Grisette, my first cat was also a rescued one. She came from a wild litter and spent weeks under the kitchen cupboard!! Of course she ended in being a friendly bed and sofa cat.
Minnie is really a patience tester, isn't she? I 'snuck' some treat food into her this am, and closed the door to keep out the other PIGGOS :D I never know if she comes out from under there, since it must only be during the nighttime while I am snoring away (Hey, maybe she leaves then BECAUSE of my snoring)...and boy did she ever gobble it down.
She looks so less scared everytime I look under the bed and say, "Hi Min-min"...
And, today, FOR THE FIRST TIME, Minnie ate the snacks while I was peering at her, from about 2 feet away. AND, she definetely leaned into my hand when I was giving her scritchies (I "thought" she did the other day, but wasn't postive). AND FINALLY- guess what??????? MINNIE DID ELEVATOR BUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just couldn't resist the touch.....:D
p.s. this is still all taking place under my bed...oh well...
It's so much fun to follow Minnie's progress from when you first wrote about her. Your patience is paying off.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I have goose bumps...........elevator butt.............that means she likes it...........:eek: :D :)
Cataholic, glad to hear you are making progress! Elevator butt already! Pretty soon she will be sleeping on your head, that is if one of your other cats doesn't already.:)
It's so good to hear good news. It's funny, how you get involved and you can't wait to hear more and more good news :)
Hooray for the elevator butt! Cats never do the elevator butt when stressed, so it's a fantastic sign. Go Minnie!
I'm so glad to hear that Minnie is becoming more trusting towards you. It may take a while but it's very rewarding in the end. Good luck. :D
